I don’t think AK is particularly in need of more E-tickets. They desperately need more family-friendly rides. I’d rather them spend their budget on multiple C-tickets over one E

It’s official! Splash is being replaced.

Agreed. I personally find ST and MFSR to be quite similar experiences (I’m sure Star Wars fans can appreciate the nuances between the rides more than I can as a non-SW fan). I even feel the same about MS, despite it not using the SW IP at all (though at least it’s in a different park)

It’s important to note that WDW has always had more theme parks than UOR (currently by a 2:1 ratio). Expectations should be set on a theme park level, not a resort level (especially in the case of WDW, where the theme parks are spread out and hopping between them is so time-consuming). IOW it’s...

Yea, this is one thing that is just really hard to pre-judge. The dark tone for the lift hill worked really well in splash. It’s possible the cheerful approach in TBA will work just as well, and it’s also possible it will completely destroy the ride’s climax. I doubt anyone can accurately intuit...

Generally speaking, when it comes to slow-moving dark rides, the ride system exists predominantly to transport guests between scenes. The entertainment comes from the show elements themselves, not from the ride system (in contrast to a thrill ride). The choice of the particular ride system...

As a Giants fan, I feel personally attacked by that post. Please take it down.

Those 3 and Test Track. And occasionally Soarin’

By the time Disney green-lights a sequel for a film, they’ve already determined that they view the IP as a formidable “franchise,” making it a good fit for a significant park presence. The BO results of a sequel are less relevant in that regard than those of an original. That’s why we still see...

To my knowledge, the original plan was also based on the animated film (well, the one produced by Animation Studios, since they were technically both animated). I would think it’s very likely that Paris borrowed some of the animatronic designs from the DAK version, as the imagineers certainly...

Google Maps doesn’t show the Club 33 building. Though I’m sure they could technically fit the Paris ride there if they really wanted to, but it would require a lot of moving things around that would make this project a lot less appealing to the powers that be.

The ride would actually go north of HH, adjacent to FOTLK. Savannah Circle would be pushed west to accommodate the new show building.

They made the barn look bad on purpose. While Tiana is an excellent chef, she does not have a very good eye for art and so she designed this hideous looking monstrosity. The theming here is actually exquisite if you would only open your eyes to it. It’s like a modern day Dino-Rama

I regretted my last sentence (“…only to keep the fantasy half in”) as soon as I submitted it for this reason. An attraction portraying a fantastical adaptation of the American West certainly has a place in Frontierland. But one based on a fantastical Land of the Dead does not. Maybe I’m missing...

Sorry, I agree with that 100%, I should have been more precise. From what I was told about this project, it would not have been themed to Latin America, but rather set in Latin America. The idea was to use Latin American culture to explore the universal themes of family and community (which IMO...
